Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have excellent mechanical properties and have the potential, if combined with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), traditionally a brittle material in tension, to become a nano-composite with superlative mechanical properties. However, highly attractive van der Waals forces between CNTs create coherent agglomerates that prove difficult to disperse within the cement matrix and reduce the fluidity of the fresh mixture. Good dispersion of CNTs, while maintaining good workability of fresh OPC-CNT paste mixtures, is a prequalification before CNT-cement nanocomposites can be considered as a future building and construction material with enhanced mechanical properties. This paper reports the results of investigations of the dispersion, workability, and strength of CNT aqueous and CNT-OPC paste mixtures, with and without several generically different dispersants/surfactants that are compatible as admixtures in the manufacture of concrete. These include an air entrainer, styrene butadiene rubber, polycarboxylates, calcium naphthalene sulfonate, and lignosulfonate formulations. Aqueous mixtures were initially assessed for dispersion of CNTs, followed by workability testing of selected OPC-CNT-dispersant/surfactant paste mixtures. A broad range of workability responses were measured and the CNT dispersion within hardened pastes was qualitatively assessed by SEM analysis. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
